House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) called the Senate's immigration compromise bill a "piece of shit" during remarks to Republicans supporters at the Capitol Hill Club Tuesday night, according to The Hotline's Marc Ambinder.

This reminds me - as it reminded Marc - of the time Boehner derided a suggestion by then-Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist (R-Tenn.) to give every taxpayer $100 rebate to help pay for rising gas prices last summer. Boehner called the plan "stupid" before learning that his Senate counterpart had been the person to suggest it.
